Judith Rae Photography

It was an absolute pleasure working with Judith, as well as Ahmet whom she worked with the day of our wedding. Judith is kind and immensely passionate about her work... and we truly felt so at ease and had so much fun taking our wedding photos. While we knew we'd look forward to the finished product, I'm not quite sure my camera shy groom and I expected to love and have fun with this photo taking 'process' as well. And speaking of the finished product... Judith sent us a dozen or so sneak peak photos and they couldn't be more beautiful... our friends and family said they captured the joy of the day and us so perfectly, and have also raved about what an incredible eye Judith has... we ourselves can't stop looking at them. Lastly, as a person Judith was so wonderful to get to know...she really took the time before the wedding to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, which led to us feeling relaxed on our wedding day in front of the camera, which contributed to the beautiful photos.

My husband and I were married this past May. We hired Judith Rae to record our special day. Judith was not only the consummate professional; she was also kind and spent time with us to get a feel for what we wanted. Choosing the right person was extremely important to us, not only for the photographs, but also because the photographer spends the greater part of the day with us. I would strongly encourage anyone interested in beautiful, natural photos that look like art and highlight the important details of the da, search Judith’s website. Judith’s photography appealed to me for its artistic qualities and its absolute beauty. I knew as soon as I saw her work, that she was perfect for our wedding photos. Judith came highly recommended by a friend of mine who had been thrilled with his wedding pictures. The day of the wedding, Judith arrived on time and prepared. She was organized and present throughout the wedding and reception as we had arranged. The amazing thing was that beyond the few posed pictures we had taken; you would not even know she was there. She moved silently throughout the wedding and reception capturing some of the most beautiful pictures I could have hoped for. The result was a gorgeous package of photos which I will cherish forever. I highly recommend Judith Rae, without reservation to anyone looking for gorgeous photography.

Judith was the photographer at my son's wedding and rehearsal dinner. She was very professional, talented, friendly and easy to work with. The pictures are beautiful, and we now have many photos of the event and my family that I will cherish forever. Thank you Judith!

Judith’s level of professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to capture every moment of our wedding without being invasive was second to none. Judith is incredibly prepared. She met us prior to our wedding to discuss our expectations. At this initial meeting, we immediately developed a comfort level with both Judith and her portfolio of work. Judith also visited our venue on multiple occasions in an effort to further prepare and to understand the lighting needs. She also worked closely with our wedding planner to make sure the day was seamless. Prior to our wedding ceremony, Judith introduced herself to our family and friends, which was instrumental when she had to give direction. Judith worked around our needs and the needs of our families. She never seemed frustrated with our competing “photographers” a.k.a family members & friends.: She didn’t produce cookie-cutter portraits; all of the photos candids, actions shots, & detail shots were beautiful and really captured the day. I am still trying to narrow down my “favorites” to 200 images for the album; I am stuck at 350 pictures...and that required a tremendous amount of effort. The job Judith and her assistants did was absolutely phenomenal and surpassed our expectations! Judith is friendly, calming, and reassuring. She makes you feel like she is lucky to be part of your big day. I can't even count how many compliments I received from family and friends.

My husband and I have had the privilege of working with Judith twice so far. Our first session was an anniversary shoot two years ago. We were so pleased with the results that when we had our daughter six months ago we reached out to Judith for our family pictures. Our family and friends were so impressed with the pictures, and Judith is a joy to work with. She has a talent of capturing the best pictures I have ever seen of our family. The editing of the pictures is also top notch, and she quickly was able to provide us an online gallery of our pictures very quickly after our session. I would highly recommend Judith, and look forward to working with her again and again in the years to come.

Judith is extraordinary talented! Her photographs capture the human element and joy of the day in the most elegant and beautiful way. She is a true professional who remains calm and poised under pressure, and works very hard to keep the bride and groom relaxed as well. Judith’s team was a dream to work with. My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with both Judith and Ahmet, and the photographs certainly show it. Judith’s own delight was both palpable and contagious, giving us truly awesome, artful and touching photographs. We were thrilled to have had Judith document our wedding and her photographs of that unforgettable day continue to give us delight!

In 2011, my husband and I planned our destination wedding at The Viceroy hotel in Anguilla. Most of the vendors we used were local, but the photographer was something incredibly important to us and we knew we would need to bring someone down from NYC if we wanted really special photos. A friend of ours recommended that we reach out to Judith as she had extensive experience with destination weddings. After seeing Judith's outstanding portfolio of work and experiencing her calm demeanor, we felt confident that we wanted her to capture our wedding day. Judith did not disappoint us in the slightest. Judith was such a pleasure, with her zen energy, to have photograph us in Anguilla. When we returned and received our photos, my husband and I were blown away. She not only was able to capture the true beauty of Anguilla in our photos, but her work was incredibly creative. It's difficult to find a photographer who has a ability to deviate from the usual staged shots. Judith does it with ease. I highly recommend Judith for your wedding, local or destination!

Judith photographed my wedding in June in NYC. She was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely committed to her clients and her work. She has an extremely sweet and calm demeanor and her photos are beautiful. She does a beautiful job capturing candids and portraits alike. She also has a unique talent for capturing amazing lighting.

My experience with Judith Rae Photography couldn't have been any better. My daughter just shared the link to our "mother-daughter" photos...they are amazing! Judith captured in the photos the fun we had on our trip, and the great time we had in New York. I love the energy of New York that shows in the photos, and when I look at them , I feel like I am enjoying that weekend all over again. Judith has an incredible talent as a photographer, but even more as a person who can make the whole experience fun-- I felt like she was a wonderul part of our trip! I would strongly recommend Judith Rae photography.

Judith was an extreme pleasure to work with. Unfortunate circumstances with an illness in the family dictated that my wife and I get married eight months ahead of our initial wedding date. Judith was very accommodating given the situation. She has a warmth about her that was very welcome. If you're looking for a true professional who does outstanding work, my wife and I highly recommend her services.
